To thank Congress for approving funding to fight sewage at local beaches, students from Coronado High School will host a rally in Coronado on March 26 at 4 p.m. to continue fighting for additional help.
The rally, hosted by the CHS Stop the Sewage Club, CHS Emerald Keepers Club, Junior Optimists Club and other student-led clubs, will take place at G Avenue and Ocean Blvd., two blocks from the MTS 901 bus stop at Orange Avenue and Park Place.
Speakers at the event will include local high school students, community leaders and elected officials.
The rally aims to thank Congress and Rep. Scott Peters (D-CA) for approving 25% of the funds needed to make beaches safe again.
The additional funding approved by Congress will help to start the process of repairing and remediating the problem, but more needs to be done to address the issue, according to the student-led coalition.
Aerosolized pollutants can now be detected in the air miles inland, posing a serious threat to the health of local residents and tourists who frequent the beaches.
